- Overview
Samos
The guide was updated:
The mythical birthplace of the goddess Hera, Samos is the greenest of the Aegean islands and surely deserves its divine reputation. Nature lovers and sun-seekers alike are attracted to its pebbled beaches, green landscapes, and impressive rocky cliffs. The island is also renowned for its vineyards and is home to the impressive ruins of the Temple of Hera, as well as the remarkable Tunnel of Eupalinos, a feat of ancient engineering that once supplied clean drinking water to the people of Pythagoreio.
Livadaki Beach
About 10 kilometres north of Vathy lies one of the island's most pristine beaches, Livadaki. The waters are crystalline, the sand is soft, and both are warm and welcoming. It is even possible to borrow free kayaks and umbrellas to find protection from the sun.

Lemonakia Beach
Lemonakia Beach is less windy and has calmer waters than other beaches in the area. There are several options for food and drinks (Andreas Place is the most popular restaurant in the area), and there are also showers, toilets, and playground areas.

Mikro Seitani
If you can only visit one beach during your stay on Samos, be sure to make it Mikro Seitani. This small and secluded beach is reachable only on foot or by boat, and it is well worth the hike. Surrounded by large rock formations and lush vegetation, it is by far the most scenic beach on the island.

Tsamadou Beach
Tsamadou Beach is, perhaps, the most popular beach on the whole island of Samos, and it's not hard to see why. The water is at once crystal clear and a vibrant shade of blue-green that has to be seen to be believed. There is a restaurant nearby and plenty of sunbeds, but it tends to be quite busy.

Balos Beach
Balos Beach is a more relaxed and less frequented beach on the south side of the island of Samos, but it is by no means less picturesque than some of the more popular beaches.

Megalo Seitani
An additional 30-minute walk beyond Mikro Seitani, the even more secluded and idyllic Megalo Seitani is maybe the most beautiful beach on Samos. The white pebbles and azure water are framed by lush green hills in every direction.
